I am definitely booting from dual-booting Linux Mint on my next laptop, I believe Windows is still needed for somethings though, I find openoffice very slow compared to MS Office, and some issues with going on certain websites without IE. The biggest hurdle for me was not having chrome on Linux, now I use chromium on Linux Mint And Windows, that sync to the same profile for easy browsing between to computers! I believe that Linux Mint is a great desktop Linux, with lots of easy setup for beginners, it looks amazing(!), and it has mp3 support built-in which leads me to believe its the best distro for begginers, but 8andsand are you KDE or GNOME? I am GNOME here.
